Mood : Amazed 
So I wandered over into the system properties of my iMac one day and realized that the idiot who bought me this computer got me a beautiful 20 inch display with a pathetic amount of RAM (curious if he didn’t know better or thought I wouldn’t know better), which most definitely explains why it’s taking Illustrator a minute and a half to load when I accidentally click it in hopes of getting to my adjacently docked iTunes library.
A few clicks, a few bucks and a few days later, the solution to my desktop’s lethargic demeanor is in a box on my doorstep (courtesy of crucial.com). Some random memory-installation-guide (courtesy of Google) is telling me that the installation process is a single step: slide memory into the only available slot. Great! Upon initial examination of machine, I note that all that stands before me and a faster Mafia Wars experience are 2 damn screws. Piece of cake. Steve Jobs is the MAN!
...but before I go shopping for a Thank You card to send to my friends at Apple, I grab my tools and attempt to find an appropriately shaped thingie to open this thing up. read more »
To add to my already ruined day (my dog murdered my vacuum cleaner), my computer keeps misbehaving. Now, it’s misbehaved before... but lately (perhaps because of the icky weather), it’s ten times as irritating. I think most people who have owned a Mac can agree, that at times the fuckers get pretty warm. I can’t keep my MacBook on my lap unless the ambient temperature is 40! My iMac has the same problem, except it gets really warm
